A funny thing happened to me in a cave - Results from 5/23
Well I went caving with my son and his cub scout group. Now for those of you who have not met me, I am a big guy. I should not be trying to squeeze into passages in a cave. Plus I am claustrophobic as well (who knows if I spelled that right). Being a stubborn person that I am I went anyway. I saw many cool things but I would never go back and do that. It was four hours of sheer terror for me.
So we get to a point where we have to do a rope climb up to another passage. It is about 25 feet high. I go and do this rope climb and at about the 15 foot mark I fall. Luckily I grab on to a rock with my right hand and hang there for about 30 seconds before I grab another rock with my left hand. I pull myself up but I feel like my right arm was detached. Unfortunately we had two more hours to go.
I get home after we are finished I cannot lift my right arm. Sunday it is even worse. I cannot even lift a loaf of bread with my right hand. I go to the doctors and he says I tore all the muscles around my right shoulder. I partially tore the ones around my left shoulder. I am on a ton of painkillers and anti spasm pills. It is very tough to get comfortable at all. I am healing, and hopefully by next week this will just be a funny story.
As for poker, I am not playing as much do to the pills and them making me very drowsy. The bankroll is sitting at 12.3K and has not moved much at all. Today I am going to try and play some tourney and some more NL ring games. Good luck everyone.

sorry about your arm, will miss your posts...
maybe if you would drop some weight....
That is a good point. It is easier to avoid caves than it is to lose weight.
